Getting a buddy off coke...

**Canadian Crippler** · 03-26-2006 09:02 PM

I have a buddy, Samhall, who recently started going to parties all the time. He goes to 2 a weekend and snorts coke atleast 1x a week, usually 2x a week. He's always been a good kid but very sheltered, he hasnt even gone to a party before last month. I feel he's letting out now and I fear it'll get worse. Suggestions?

**ILL_Mitch** · 03-26-2006 09:04 PM

Brother, Samhall is number 1, he is, and he always will be. I was at a party with Samhall 2 weeks ago, and Samhall seemed to be ok. Samhall did like 1 line, obvisouly if Samhall is doing any coke it's not good, but 1 line for Samhall is not bad - Samhall needs to stop before Samhall gets HOOKED!

**Canadian Crippler** · 03-26-2006 09:06 PM

Do you know who got samhall to try this first? Dude Samhall's mom has been crazy protective, remember that time me, you and Samhall were going downtown and Samhall's mom told us not to go anywhere in that one area because she she thought it was "dangeous"? Samhall's mom is nuts, it was yonge and Bloor!

Honestly I think anything more than once a week or so would probably interfere with one's schedule ie lifting, school, work, and sleep etc.
Try your best to talk to him and just see if he can tone it down, let him know you care and are looking out for him. I would think it'd be a good idea not to entirely demonize the drug though because obviously he likes the stuff.

Swap his coke for laundry powder.

**Canadian Crippler** · 03-26-2006 09:11 PM

Yeah I should prob. straight up talk to Samhall about it, Samhall and I aren't amazing friends or anything but good enough so I care.

**ILL_Mitch** · 03-26-2006 09:11 PM

Brother... Samhall is Samhall's own man, no one else's, not even his mom's, as controlling and ridiculous as Samhall's mom is. Samhall is a good boy, a little confused at the moment, but Samhall will get things back on track. He's lifting, he's fishing, he's listening to metal - Samhall is the embodiement of all that is youth rebellion! He'll tone down the Metallica, he'll stop his fishing, and he won't spend the whole day the gym as he is doing now - he'll stop using, and Samhall will go back to school - he told me brother - so no need to worry.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw the name Samhall in this thread..

**Clifford Gillmore** · 03-26-2006 09:38 PM

You would have 24$?

**cphafner** · 03-26-2006 09:38 PM

couldn't you two have this discussion off line?

**sCaRz*Of*PaiN** · 03-26-2006 09:38 PM

he'll stop using

Some people never do.

Yeah I should prob. straight up talk to Samhall about it

That's a good idea. Confront him about and let him know you give a s***.

I still can't tell if this thread is a joke or not. The tone of your posts is confusing.

**galileo** · 03-26-2006 09:40 PM

First, take it all. Second, send it to me.

**Canadian Crippler** · 03-26-2006 09:41 PM

It's not the tone of the posts, lol. ILL_Mitch is absolutely insane and thus posts like so, look at all his posts.

So what do yall suggest? I just go "Dude, you gotta stop snorting, it's not good..." ??

**Bohizzle** · 03-26-2006 09:50 PM

walk up to him and punch him in the face, if he says "what the **** was that for?!" u say "for sniffin coke. if u do it again, there's more where that came from." it could work.

**mrelwooddowd** · 03-26-2006 09:57 PM

Lock him in a room, with the complete DVD collection of "Miami Vice."

That should take care of it.

**d'Anconia** · 03-26-2006 09:58 PM

I don't know exactly how to bring it up but when you do you have to look him square in the eye and let him know that you're dead serious.
I don't know how often you hang out with this guy but if you hang out with him a lot then when a subject somewhat-close to drugs comes up, that's when I'd bring it up.

Of course I don't know what the best methods for these types of confrontations are.

**biggimp** · 03-27-2006 12:26 AM

you guys that are telling him to punch him, or take it all, or tell him he's dumb, have no clue what you are talking about.

if you are so worried, take him out for an entire weekend. go to a movie one night and a party with no coke (shouldn't be too hard to find) so that it's out of his way for a weekend and see how he takes it. if he cant go a week without the stuff, he has problems. the drug has some addictive powers but it's not nearly as addictive as, say smoking cigarettes imo

**Shark** · 03-27-2006 12:45 AM

Honestly, you could just let your friend live his life and experiment a little. Just because its not your way and not what you want to do doesn't mean that it isn't going to work just fine for him.

I know lots of very high functioning people both in and out of the bodybuilding world who do all sorts of drugs.

Crip, sometimes you need to just back off and stop judging peoples actions. Until he becomes self destructive its really not any of your business. Even then, its ultimately his choice what he wants to do.

**silentdragonx** · 03-27-2006 05:23 AM

It can only gets worse so watch out for your buddy. After coke comes heroin or crack and those are highly addictive, they usually ruin people's lives.

I'd go with that, but dont get in a huge discussion jsut say it once in a while off the cuff.

Ifs he really doing his coke, after hes been up for a few days he'll remember it and think about it.

I second that. I know a bunch of kids that do coke, and none have ever gone to crack or heroin. A lot of them are very productive young professionals, but a couple have really had it screw up their lives (ie. arrested, kitched out of school, etc.).

**J450n** · 03-27-2006 05:57 AM

You'll just have to let, er what was his name again?

**Relentless** · 03-27-2006 06:19 AM

Once a week is not being "on coke".

For the most part, cocaine isn't physiologically addictive like other drugs... there's a psychological component for sure, but it's not like crack/heroin/etc.

Coffee and cigarettes are more physiologically habituating than a little blow.

And you say he's not a close friend, but just a 'regular' friend that you are concerned about? Get the hell out of his business and mind your own.

Just my 0.02.

The "stepping stone" argument?

I thought that that was marijuana's place in the drug chain.

I say leave your buddy alone. You can make a comment that you disapprove but it's really none of your business. If he starts sliding downhill then you might want to intervene. As long as he functions normally there isn't anything to worry about.
